Lands’ End Kid’s Winter Outerwear Giveaway

92 Replies

This giveaway is now closed.

If you read my post on family skiing cost-saving ideas last week, you may be starting to look for winter outerwear for your child. Look no further: I’m excited to announce a giveaway for two sets of kid’s winter outerwear for lucky readers of WanderMom.com.

The generous folks at Lands’ End will provide a Sport Squall Jacket (available for boys and girls), a pair of Sport Squall Gloves and a ThermaCheck 200 Fleece Hat for two children.

The first winner will also receive a pair of Sport Squall Boots and the second winner a pair of Snow Flurry Boots. These prizes are worth $136 and $126 respectively. Lands’ End will ship the clothing to the winners (U.S. addresses only).

In this photo, Big B is wearing a Lands’ End Squall Jacket and both of us are wearing pants from Lands’ End. His gloves are also Lands’ End.

As a mom, it’s easy for me to recommend the Lands’ End Kid’s Squall Jacket since it’s been the product I’ve bought for both of my boys for the past five or six winters. My boys wear these jackets in and out to school and around the neighborhood on wet Seattle winter days. Then, when we hit the slopes, the same jacket keeps them warm and cozy even when the wind and snow is blowing.

GoGoBabyz Infant Cruizer Giveaway – Only 1 Week Left!

10 Replies

This giveaway is now closed.

Just a reminder folks, there’s only one week left to enter to win a GoGoBabyz Infant Cruizer – worth $149.99!

If you’re flying, you can leave your stroller at home and just use the GoGoBabyz Infant Cruizer in the airport and at your destination. The sturdy AT (All Terrain) wheels provide a gentle ride on a variety of surfaces. Going up or down stairs? No problem! The telescoping handle easily retracts and you can lift the car seat and wheels while riding up an escalator or taking the stairs. The fold-up design means the Infant Cruizer takes up significantly less space than a traditional travel system stroller – a bonus for both air and car travel. At 12 pounds, it’s light enough that you also don’t need to worry about extra baggage fees.

The Infant Cruizer comes in two models: the INCR-Graco for Graco car seats and the INCR-Other for car seats from Britax, Combi, Chicco and Peg Perego.

You can WIN a GoGoKidz Infant Cruizer!

1.) To enter to win, leave a comment below with how and where you’d use the Infant Cruizer and how you think it will make your life easier! One winner will be chosen at random. This giveaway is open to those with a US mailing address.

This giveaway is now closed.
Are you wondering how you’re going to manage your upcoming summer travels with an infant while juggling baby, diaper bag and your luggage? Maybe wondering what you’ll do with your child’s car seat if you’re flying? Or are you worrying about whether you might be charged extra by the airline if you have a car seat and a stroller? Perhaps you’re concerned because you need the car seat at your destination and it sure would be nice to have a stroller too?

The GoGoBabyz Infant Cruizer is truly an innovative product which can help with some of these questions.

The Infant Cruizer comes in two models: the INCR-Graco for Graco car seats and the INCR-Other for car seats from Britax, Combi, Chicco and Peg Perego.

And, thanks to the good folks at GoGoBabyz, I’ve got an Infant Cruizer to give away – check out the contest below.

learning a language with professor toto

37 Replies

I’m excited to be hosting another giveaway! And even more excited that it’s part of Twitter Social – GNO, a TwitterMoms event. You can find out more about this fun online social event at GoodAndCrazyPeople or MommyGossip – these bloggers are the twittermom hosts.

Even though it’s a social event, GNO organizers do pick a theme topic for discussions. This week, the topic is Family Travel. I’ll be logging on to twitter, 6pm-late (PST) to chatter and answer any questions I can and generally own the soapbox on this, my favorite topic of conversation.

I decided that being a Guest Host for such an event was worth celebrating. Hence this giveaway. I have 7 Professor Toto Sing & Learn Starter Kits to give away: two each in Italian, French and German and one in Spanish. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your child starts to pick up vocabulary in another language through learning songs and rhymes with Professor Toto and his friends.

What
In this Professor Toto Starter Kit, children learn by listening to a CD and singing along to vocabulary-building songs, Paging through a glossy, full-color book with pictures of words they hear on the CD, and Coloring pictures of words they hear on the CD. Each kit contains:

1 Sing & Learn CD – 26 minutes. 15 Professor Toto vocabulary-building songs. 1 Sing & Learn Activity Book (24p Full Color). Each song is illustrated and translated. 1 Color & Learn Coloring Book (24p). Children color the words they’re hearing, so they visually reinforce their new vocabulary. 1 Professor Toto’s A+ Kids Club Certificate. Professor Toto’s at-home students fill in their names and hang their Professor Toto certificate on the wall. (7-3/8′ x 9/14″) 1 Full-Color Learning Guide.

How
Leave a comment below with saying why you feel learning another language is important for your child. Don’t forget to leave your email address so I have a way of contacting you.

Winners
UPDATE: I’ll choose a winner randomly and announce the results during the Twitter Social – GNO, at 8pm and 9pm (PST) or thereabouts. GNO gets a little crazy with up to 200 moms tweeting at the same time, so 9pm is a goal. (I’ll use email as my backup method to contact winners – see above).

how to avoid crawling under airplane seats…

30 Replies

…to pick up your child’s crayons/markers/pencils.

The TRAYblecloth from the folks over at Love To Travel Products is a must-have for any mom juggling children, bags, snacks and toys on a flight. This is a product which your child will use from toddlerhood all the way through to middle school.

The clear vinyl surface can be used as a dry-erase board with or without the reusable activity sheets which are also included. The front pockets can be used for small items: markers, headphones, ipod, hand-held video games and the teeny-weeny games which come with them (which trust me, are impossible to find on the floor beneath a dimly-lit coach class seat).

Iâ€™ve got a red Trayblecoth to give away. Post your strangest, messiest or funniest airplane-with-kids story as a comment below and Iâ€™ll include you in a drawing to win your very own TRAYblecloth. Deadline is September 30th.
